Canadian-born Men Who Served with Minnesota Regiments Between 1861 and 1866

I will soon be expanding the list of Canadians who served in Minnesota regiments; many thanks to Geoff Rasmussen for passing along the information that will make this possible. The majority of the information contained in this site was derived from the Minnesota Adjutant General's Report, 1866 [MAGR]. Those names that have [SDGAR] as a source were members of a Grand Army of the Republic post in South Dakota. A few additional names have been secured from the website: Civil War and Spanish-American War Veterans in Meeker Co., MN (Rootsweb)--[MCWV].

Alonzo Pickle was a Private with the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment, Company K. He
mustered in with the unit August 14, 1862 at the age of 19. Because he was a later recruit, his term
of service did not end in April 1864, and was among 70 who were in this position. Along with 58
men who re-enlisted and 89 new recruits, Pickle became a member of the 1st Battalion Minnesota
Infantry. (See John Quinn Imholte's The First Volunteers: History of the First Minnesota Volunteer
Regiment 1861-1865) As a member of the 1st Battalion, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant.
He received the Medal of Honor for his conduct during the engagement at Deep Bottom, Va. on
August 14, 1864.
